Yes spring is coming and I have teamed up with LuLaRoe for a Spring Dress giveaway. As the snow melts and we are starting to see more of that beautiful sun, it makes us want to start shopping again for that perfect spring wardrobe. One of the most important pieces is a fun and bright spring dress. Dresses always come in handy mostly since we will be heading into that wedding season right now and need multiple choices to look divine and have a fresh springy feel. So today I want to introduce you to a great company named LuLaRoe! They are just that colorful,fresh, and everything comfy. Their dresses are light and the material makes you want to wear it all day long. I want one of their dresses in each color for real! My most fav part of the dress?? The pockets of course. Being a mom I always have to hold everything and it makes it so nice to have those cute pic pockets. Today we are giving one away to one lucky reader and follower of my fashion blog.

Today I am styling an amazing dress from Junie Blake. They are an online shopping site and are really amazing at their prints and dresses. They really are on trend and worth checking out. They have many different styles, cuts, and colors to match anyone’s personality. I picked out this amazing dress from their collection for the combo of the two, colors and prints. I like bold and they had this dress with the best print and front pockets. I have this thing for front pockets. I added my own belt (from Downeastbasics.com) and some fun tights (forever21.com) and don’t forget the boots(jeffery campbell) to help pull together the perfect fall outfit. Thank you Junie blake for the dress and providing all of us with great style, prices, and fashion forward designs. Shop online to see all their must have collections here. Happy Sunday Style everyone.

Fridays are all about kick back style. Have a fab weekend and I will be enjoying my big birthday tomorrow. Ahhh…..34 hope it’s a great one. Thanks for all of you who follow me and allow me in your lives each day. Hugs and happy weekend.

You know me I love to mix and match. A ton of people are not fans of this but I like to push the limits a bit. I feel like creativity is a must and if I look like what magazines are telling me to do I am board. I am a girly girl and a tom girl. This leaves me with a mix of personalities I must fullfill. LOL. Really though I think if it’s too soft then I am board and also the other way around. What inspires me? Free people and j.crew mixed up. If that makes sense. I love my cali kicked back roots but then I need to look like a prepster if needed. So here is my Mix it up look of the week. Enjoy. Try to mix something you feel can stand out and inspire. Follow me on my instgram under @jenstyles for more looks.

You know it’s that time. Sunday Style. Everyone loves these posts so I am doing my best with my blogger and stylist calendar to keep up with my own blog. So I will do better because I have been so thankful for my viewership over these past 6 months. It’s grown so much on instagram and I am so thankful. Today I have to talk about Kingdom & State.They have these amazing slip dresses. The fabric is so divine. I slipped my skirt right over it and use the slip as my top and threw on a oldie but goodie Tulle jacket. I love these slips. They hold you in and they make everything just fit better. Everyone needs a Kingdom and State slip dress. I have one in cream and navy. You also need one for all your Sundays and work attire. Really anything. Best basic I own right now in my wardrobe. It’s a must. You can go shop for these online at Kingdom & State.

This has to be one of my most favorite post and dress in a very long time. I am not sure why I love this lobster dress so much but it is so amazing! The fit is great, and covers everywhere I want it to so I can feel cute and modest at the same time. Happy Sunday!

It’s hot in here and I am excited to take SOME clothes off. Not all! Lol. So I thought why not do a show on ABC4 today about fun essentials pieces that I get to just throw on and go. I love to wear those summer little dresses with some fun sandals and I love to grab my big beach bag and just go! I also love a little sporty to my summer looks because I feel like you really get a bit sporty in the summer time. You have to look like a beach babe but that kick butt at volleyball if asked to play…(if you get what I mean)! So grab some of my must haves for summer and have fun and travel safe in the sun in style.

1. Little dress: To cover up the swimsuit or to just throw on for an evening dinner with your hubby. This is a effortless look you want to wear all around town. Dress it up with wedges or go preppy with some flats. Either way I love and must have many little t-shirt dresses. Stripes or plain are all good just make sure it’s cotton and easy.

2. Flow away pants: It’s summer time. Grab your best hippy flowy pants or your flare jeans because now is the time to rock these. At a summer night concert with your favorite t-shirt or just a blouse either way it’s like a Drew Barrymore moment you don’t want to miss at summer time.

3. The OverAlls: Yes I said it! Something you can rock with a tank top to bring back those good old 90s that you know and love. I love it with some basic flip flops or some wedge sneakers to add some funk. Either way yes they are back and yes they are comfy! Rock em.

4. Over Sized Sunnies: Don’t leave home without them. Your wrinkles will thank you later in life. And your sun spots will go far away. So grab some chicness and some shades and rock them like no other. I love mine at the baseball games I have to sit at all summer long with two sons in travel leagues and this is so I don’t have to cake on as much sunscreen because now the sunglasses cover half of my face. So go big or go home in that case! Telling all sports mamas the bigger the better in sunglasses style.

My show will be posted later today. Stay tuned and thanks for subscribing to my blog and following me on jenstyles on instagram.

Today it’s all about the pattern pants that I love from Karma Boutique. They are just the right price and they are stretchy so they are like wearing leggings but with a pocket. A must have. Thanks karma for letting me style your amazing pants.
